SOME FACTS.
THE MINING AND MANUFAC,
TURING ADVANTAGES OF THE
SOUTH.

Tho success OF mining and manu-.
featuring in the South has long since
passed tho experimental stage It
Is nom recognized and universally
conceded that nearly all the indns.
tries can be carried on successfully
and profitably here, and in the past
few years our factories have come
into the field as strong competitors
with similar enterprises in the
North and West. In the last issue
of the Tradcsmnn, published Mt
Chattanooga. it reviews ut length
the industrial development of the
South, and states tic following well
recognized and authenticated facts:
"That tho South possesses nil the
raw materials entering chiefly into
manufncturca-such as coal, iron
and other materials, lumber, cotton,
ETC., cheaper than any'other portion
of the country and almost any por.
tion of the globe; and that it can, in
consequence, manufacture lumber,
pig iron, iron and steel, and cotton
goods Of all kinds more cheaply than
the North or West.
THAT its labor is cheaper, mainly
On account Uf the smaller cost of
living, and more certain and relia

"Tlat it has been able to supply
the home demand, considerable
portion of that OF the West, and is
now exporting goods abroad with
profit

factures it is constantly extending
it's operations, and has met with sue.

KEEP OUT OF THE PAST.

Keep out of the past For its HIGHWAYS
Are damp with malarial gloom;
Its gardens are sero and its forests aru
drear,
And everywhere molders tomb.
Who seeks to regain its lost pleasures
Finds only a roso turned to dust,
And its storehouse of wonderfusi trea-
Is covered and coated with rust.
Keep out of the past It is haunted;
He who in its avenue gropes
Shall find there the ghost of u JOY priced
the most,
And skeleton throng of dead hopes.
In placo of its beautiful rivers,
Lie pools that are stagnant with slime
And those graves cleaning white in the
phosphorous light
Cover dreams that wore slain in their
Keep out of the pust | 1t is lonely
And barren and bleak to the view,
Its fires have grown cold and it's stories
are old,
Turn. turn to the present and newl
To day leads you up to the hilltops
That are kissed by the radiant sun;
To day shows no tomb-all life s hopes
are in bloom
And today holds prize to be won.

called the SeprIlte Vivc, are still in

Wales. These nuns, some of tlem
ladies Of noble families, observe s.

They never see men, not even tile

Sabbath morning. They sat for II
short time in Il pew ut the side that
commanded view OF the entrance.
Others were there waiting for the
ushers to find them better sents.
When the voluntary was about
coming TO an end the pewh0lders
began to arrive. The girls rustled
by in magnificent apparel, and
every ono of them paused for IN in

ing about tht.. church before she
walked down to her pew. Zach one
also carried an elegant prayer book
in her hand. The most popular
edition had gilt edged leaves, blue
back and II blue border OH vellum
covers. The rector and his assist.
ants and the choir marched in, and
the stream of incoming pewhOl,lers
increased. The fashionable cliarac-
ter of the audience became more
marked. A typical pair of delight
tul and handsome girls came in
while the minister was engaged i'm
reading the service. They entered
at different sides of the vestibule
recognized each other, and ran to
gcther with a resounding kiss that
echoed its way down the brood aisle
and lost itself in tle sounding board
over tho pulpit. They held their
prayer books daintily before them
and chatted and smiled and as they
smiled each took rapid but keen
surveys of the others dress. Each
was blessed with an elegant figure
and n rich papa, and there was lit
tie room for disadvantageous com.
parison, one with the other.
"When are you going away"
asked one.

"How delightful! We are going
to Paris about the same time. We
must persuade our papas to take
the same steamer" Then, going to
the baize doors that opened upon
the aisle, the last speaker peeped
through and whispered: III think
there are strangers in our pew"
"Never mind," said the other, "you
must sit with me-"
So they came to the -sssssJ of the
side aisle, stood for M has the
others had done, and talked
about halfway down ich to
their pew. When thef pa the
pew they gave swing seir skirts
to assure themselves thnt the tourn.
ure should come down right. 1t was
gracefully done. Then they inclined
their heads, one putting a vellum.
covered prayer book to hen eyes, the
other her gloved fingers. A friend in
the pew in front turned and kindly
showed them In the service to which
the minister had come. They smiled
their thanks in the eweetcst manner
aid glanced critically but not unfav
orably at their friends bonnet. When
in the course of the service it became
necessary to pray for mercy for "us
miserable Sinners" they moved their
lips decorously and presumably ut
tered the self.condemnatory words.
A beautiful girl in fairly stunning
dress swept down the aisle 10 q pew
some distance in front of them. They
turned their heads slightly and look.
